Ashley Tisdale has suggested that she agreed to revive her High School Musical character Sharpay Evans in order to bring the scheming teenager's journey full circle.

Speaking to Just Jared Jr, the actress revealed that she was ultimately unhappy that Sharpay's future was left unresolved in High School Musical 3.

"The reason why I wanted to do the movie was because I felt that High School Musical 3 was… there really wasn't a complete end with my character," she said. "She was kinda left behind at the school because she was supposed to be an assistant to Mrs. Darbus and I just felt like she needed to get something."

Tisdale added that the new Disney Channel movie Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure will show fans how the character adapts to adulthood.

"I just felt that it was something that would be really fun for the fans to watch and see again. Also, a whole new generation would be watching it as well because everyone is, pretty much; they're in college, they're kind of experiencing the same thing she's experiencing in this movie. I just felt like this is character franchise that is really close to my heart so I'm excited to be back and playing her."

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure is to air on March 11, 2011 on The Disney Channel.
